Operations

Open cut coal mining is currently conducted via hydraulic excavators in a strip mining configuration.

Coal from the pit is loaded into rear dump trucks and transported to the ROM crusher pad. Coal is then crushed and loaded into B-double trucks for transport to the rail loadout facility via a private 17 km haul road. The coal is then railed to the Port of Newcastle for export.

Open cut mining methods at Boggabri Coal allow the full recovery of all coal down to the Merriown seam.

In 2009, 1.55 million tonnes of coal was exported.
